All your assumptions are correct :)

If you want the "exposure" that the phonegap-plugins repo provides, then
yes, you want to use GitHub.

If you follow Mike's advice, the link from github can point to any
openly-accessible repository. Your own hosted git, SVN, bitbucket,
whatever.

RE: Phonegap-Plugins Repo

Posted by "Amirzada, Bijan" <bi...@quicinc.com>.
So, in this new model, it seems the plugin must still reside on GitHub since you're still using the GitHub pull request process.
Is there a way to have the plugin code reside in a non-Github repo and just have the pointer to it ?

I highly recommend that your pull request is a README.md that redirects to your plugin's repository, instead of a pull request with the plugin's source code.

Example:
/Android/MyAwesomePlugin/README.md

README.md:
My Awesome Plugin is available at [
github.com/mwbrooks/phonegap-plugin-myawesomeplugin/](http://github.com/mwbrooks/phonegap-plugin-myawesomeplugin/)

Eventually the phonegap-plugins repository will be decommissioned and encourage everyone to host their plugins on their own Github account.

Re: Phonegap-Plugins Repo

I highly recommend that your pull request is a README.md that redirects to
your plugin's repository, instead of a pull request with the plugin's
source code.

Example:
/Android/MyAwesomePlugin/README.md

README.md:
My Awesome Plugin is available at [
github.com/mwbrooks/phonegap-plugin-myawesomeplugin/](http://github.com/mwbrooks/phonegap-plugin-myawesomeplugin/)

Eventually the phonegap-plugins repository will be decommissioned and
encourage everyone to host their plugins on their own Github account.
